Hi Flo If you have money for a dmg machine of this new age, maybe emc is not what you need. The Siemens 810 is fully digital and fitting emc with the other digital controls would require much rewiring. It would be better and simpler to upgrade the 810 to 840.
Maybe you should look for a good old machine on ebay?
